Hi Basschatters Up for sale is my main instrument from the last 10 years, and only reluctant sale given the "One in - One out" principle as I'm concentrating on fretless in the future. This is one of Mike Lull's earlier creations with a sn. of 479. I guess it's around 20 years old, and brought to Denmark from Ney York by a professional danish bass player, of whom I previously bought another of these basses. For those familiar with these basses, the age can also be detected by a slightly larger head than the current models. We all love our instruments but this one is simply the best of the three M5V I have had over the years, hence the one that stayed the longst. A "pick up and play" instrument commented by all those who have admired, and wanted to try it in the time I have had it. Spec: Beautiful and rare Burgundy Mist finish with very minimal scrathes and marks. None on the front Alder body is my best guess, irrespectively that there is a bit of Ash bark/growl in the sound when recorded. Graphite reinforced Maple neck with rosewood fretboard. Frets recently polished and no signs of wear 35" scale 21 fret neck with 12" fretboard radius. String spacing neck saddle 9,5 mm and 19 mm at bridge which can be adjusted (sideways) if preferred. Weight around 4.3. kg Mike's special wounded Seymour Duncan PU's and 3 band Aguilar pre-amp with passive by pull of volume, and 2 mid frequencies (400/800) No passive tone pot. THE SPECIAL FEATURE: Instead of balance it's fitted with a rotary swith given you: Front PU alone - like an old Fender Telecaster bass with the single coil PU. Both in parallel - Everything you want with a Jazz Sound. Rear PU alone - Pure Jaco Both in series - Powerful almost Musicman type of sound This is as close to a classic vibe modern build "Working man's do all instrument" as you can get, hence why it's been my go to bass for 10 years. And as you can see from the last photo, a small guy like me, 1,82m & 75kg don't have any issues playing a 35" scale bass (Photo from our rehearsal room and not a prison cell :0)) Price including shipping to main Europe and a Mike Lull gigbag. (Will be professional packed for damage free shipping) 20/09/2019: Taste is a subjective matter, but as the yanks are sayin' "Tort goes with everything". Like the tough decision every man faces, blond or brunette? You'd be the judge on that one (spare high quality three layer pickguard from Chandler in the US for one of my previous M5V's - will be part of the package free of charge) Kind Regards Thomas

DeArmond Starfire II hollowbody bass with upgraded Fred Hammon Darkstar pickups! Beautiful shortscale with nice binding on body and neck. This is by all means a tone monster. Very good condition, low action and yeah: awesome sound. The Darkstar BiSonic pickups are very rare and almost never for sale used. Curtis Novak also makes these kind of pickups and they sell for about 250 - 300 euros each! Comes with a Epiphone JC hardcase, which fits perfectly. £745 / €840 including safe shipping within most of the EU/UK. TRADED

Hartke LH1000 head A big powerful beast of a head. Not much else to say about it really! It's no looker, as you can see, having clocked up a few gigs, but it's in perfect working order. The Gator rack bag I've been carrying it in of late is included - see photos. It's a great head, but I'm not gigging a whole lot these days, so don't really need it anymore. I'm based in Liverpool - you're welcome to come and give it a try.

Ashdown cab small, light - one hand lift, (even for me and I’ll never see 66 again) ☹️ which sounds really good. In very good condition, with just the odd mark but nothing major. One ten inch Dual Concentric 250w RMS Woofer, which handles the Lows and Mids + a really nice tweeter, which is very subtle and can be set to either off / low or high - which then gives the cab a nice Hi - Fi voicing, if required, so although primarily bass cabs they are also ideal for keyboards, Guitar or even vocals etc 👍. The recessed metal top handles are great making lifting and carrying a doddle - one journey load / unload Bass, MB200 & leads in Gig Bag on my back and a cab in each hand - Fab 😃👍👍 - now, if only I had a Gig 😂😂!! Combined Speakon and 1/4” Jack Input and link - Life saver !! Here are those nice Specs. we all love so much 😃👍👍... Dimensions - 46 cm High x 32.5 cm Wide x 33.5 cm Deep Weight - 11,5 kg Power Rating - 250w RMS Tweeter - a nice sounding one 👍👍 I can post out to the UK Mainland which would cost £18.00 via Parcelforce 48 if you are too far away to collect, or if not - feel free to nip around for a good try out.

After a rethink on the price, a huge price drop to £2750, now £2350! (sorry I couldn't change the main add price after I had posted it originally). After some considerable consideration, I have decided to sell my original 1974 Fender Jazz bass. The bass has the original black factory finish (custom colour for the time), with a black pick guard and complete with a maple neck with pearl blocks. All the parts are original to my knowledge. The bass is also lightweight at just over 8lbs. I am the 3rd owner, the guy I bought it from had it from 1980 and he bought it from the original owner. The bass is dated from the neck plate 502248 (source - Fender Vintage 50,000 to 58,000 = 1974, and the pick ups which are stamped 74 (one clear to read one not really readable but it is the original one). The original pots are dated from 1973, and the neck is actually dated from 1972 (02033923) meaning Jazz bass, Maple neck, Wednesday 27th September 1972). There is nothing "funny" about this, it was common place for Fender employees to just grab parts off the shelf. All the parts are original to this bass except the pick guard. Somebody had tried to relocate the thumb rest but the holes have been refilled. I managed to source an original 1974 pick guard from the USA so it's back to original! The bass came to me with a generic 70's case, however I bought a period correct Fender case from Tony Williams (bass player of Stealers Wheel fame and who toured with Jethro Tull in the late 1970's). He very kindly sent me a certification of authenticity with the case and a Jethro Tull touring tag (see pics). The bass was set up to perfection by Xperience Guitars in Nottingham, (low action, currently with Rotosound 105-45 Swing Bass strings). All the electrics work fine, the bridge pick up has been repaired but it is the original one, and rest assured everything functions exactly as it should. There are a couple of marks on the neck, non of which effects playability. The bass has marks, light scratches, dents etc... and crazing as you would expect, but overall i'd say it is in excellent condition for it's age. It sounds sweet as a nut too! So, the bass comes with the period correct case with certificate from Tony Williams, the original pick guard (pick guard replaced with an original 1974 part), original thumb rest with screws, and the original covers too! I am also including an original long screw and saddle that I bought as a spare from the USA. The only parts not original that i'm aware of are the covers screws which are 1970's period correct replacements. I have never used the covers or thumb rest and they are in excellent condition. I have placed them on the bass for photographic purposes. This bass has been used for gigs in Judas Priest tribute band Hell Bent For Priest, Ronnie James Dio tribute band DIIO (D2O), and classic rock and metal covers band Synner. I am only selling this bass because I rarely use it anymore as I am using my Musicman Sabre all the time these days. I think I have priced it fairly at £2750 (new price - £2,350) which includes UK postage (elsewhere at cost,) given I have seen these go for way more than this and that's with missing/changed parts, refinishes, missing case, etc..... I will post but i'd far sooner you came to my place to see and try this beauty for yourself. I live about 5 minutes from junction 26 M1 Nottingham. This is a proper classic, and sorted vintage bit of kit that will only keep on increasing in desirability and value. It plays and sounds wonderful and is in great condition for it''s age, and lightweight too. In fact I have not seen a better one for sale for ages. I will only accept cash on collection, bank transfer or (PayPal if you are willing to pay any additional costs). Please be aware that buyers from abroad not in the EU will incur import duty and tax, paid for by the buyer. In all cases this bass does not leave my possession until I have the money in my hands. I may possibly take a P/X or possible exchange (a Pre-Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray in Sunburst ideally) but a cash sale is much preferred please. Check out the pics. Tony.

If only these had come up a couple of weeks ago
